Tyler Rogers, Tony Watson Are Closing Candidates
San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Tuesday that he has two pitchers in mind to close for the 2020 season, Tyler Rogers and Tony Watson. Rogers, a 29-year-old sidearmer, was solid in very limited work last season, going 2-0 with a 1.02 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 22.9% strikeout rate and an 0-for-2 conversion rate for saves over 17 2/3 innings pitched. Watson, a lefty veteran, had an OK 2019 season, going 2-2 with a 4.17 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 17.8% strikeout rate and an 0-for-3 conversion rate on saves over 54 IP. Kapler stressed that he wanted flexibility, stating: "We want these guys to be flexible to take down multiple innings." From a fantasy perspective, this only complicates matters. Hopefully things will become a bit clearer during summer camp, but Watson is the best bet for those speculating on saves.
